LIV Loves Bono!

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Bono Yes, we ran into Bono in NYC! What a sweet guy. He was so genuine and down to earth. He’s not only a great musician, but he has co-founded several humanitarian organizations and companies like DATA, EDUN, the ONE Campaign and Product Red. What a pleasure to meet such a fantastic person. PS. That’s our reflection on his car!

The Sartorialist Book

If you’re already a fan of The Sartorialist blog, you’ll definitely want to get your hands on Scott Schuman’s new book. “The book is a beautiful anthology of Scott’s favorite shots from around the world. They include photographs of well-known fashion figures as well as those shots of the anonymous passerby whose imagination and taste delight the viewer. From the streets of Rio to Bejing, Stockholm to Milan, these are the people that have inspired Scott and in turn, inspired designers and people of all ages, wages and nationalities with an interest in fashion. Intimately designed and created with Scott, the book is a handsome object in its own right.” -Amazon.com

P.S. Scott was recently in town promoting his book at Holt Renfrew. Keep an eye on his blog to see what he captured on the streets of Toronto.
